DISTRICTS 1 , 2, 3 & 13 Joint Chairman Griffin stated that the Review of Draft Interim Report on California Department of Health Services the Stringfellow Remedial (DOHS) and the U.S. Environmental 1 i Investigation/Feasibility Study Protection Agency (EPA) had agreed to I f brief the Directors on the Draft Interim Report on the Stringfellow Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study which had !f recently been issued by DOHS. Copies of the full report were distributed to Board si members in August. i G Mr. Griffin noted that the Districts play an important role in the success of the Stringfellow clean-up project and are prepared to fulfill their responsibilities to protect water quality and play an appropriate role helping others to do the same. He emphasized that in order to achieve the water quality objectives, open and on-going communication between the respective agencies and exchange of all relevant information was necessary so that the decision makers could adequately -3- �I ,,I 4U/UL/dD evaluate the alternatives and arrive at the best overall solution. The Joint Chairman also observed that the Districts' cooperative efforts to protect the Santa Ana River Basin underground fresh water supplies have certainly been demonstrated over the years. Joint Chairman Griffin then introduced Mr. Stan Phillippe, Project Manager for the DOHS Toxics Substances Control Division, and Mr. Keith Takata, Chief of the. Superfund Program Branch, EPA Region IX. The state and federal officials then reviewed the history of the Stringfellow waste site, the interim cleanup measures being taken and the long-term solutions being studied. The work is being financed under federal Superfund legislation. Under Superfund, sites requiring cleanup are identified for inclusion on the national priority list, a remedial investigation to characterize the nature of the problem and study the feasibility of alternative solutions is conducted and then the selected alternative is designed, followed by implementation of that designed clean-up action, and a period of operation and maintenance. The purpose of the Stringfellow project is to prevent contamination of the underground fresh water supplies in the Chino Basin and Orange County. The interim pre-treatment facility has been constructed for the short-term solution and it is anticipated that discharge of pre-treated wastewater to the Santa Ana River Interceptor System will commence in the near future. The Draft Interim Report on the Stringfellow Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study identifies technologies that may be applicable to the Stringfellow site for the long-term solution. The report evaluates the feasibility of the different alternatives. The report also sets forth the process used in developing and screening the alternatives and the schedule for completing the work and submitting the recommendations for public review. The officials pointed out that although the best ultimate clean-up plan is yet to be identified, the following appeared to'be most feasible: Discharge to publicly owned treatment works (POTW) Discharge to surface waters Offsite reinjection Disposal to Class I or Class II/I disposal site Solar evaporation Reuse offsite as industrial or agricultural water Reuse onsite for process purposes The officials pointed out that the long-term alternative to discharge to a POTW (i.e. , the Orange County Sanitation Districts Treatment and Disposal System) , although not decided, is a very likely choice because of the interim pretreatment facility that has already been constructed and the economics of that disposal method. -4- 10/02/85 The Directors then entered into a lengthy question and answer period during which the current disposal method to a Class I landfill was reviewed and the proposed start-up and operation of the interim pre-treatment facility was discussed. The availability of federal and state financing for the clean-up effort was reviewed. In addition, the amount of materials deposited at Stringfellow and how long it }! ' would take to eventually complete the long-range cleanup program; further detail on the present Stringfellow site condition and the extent of the existing ! groundwater contamination; short and long term cleanup efforts and methods and the cleanup timetable; the effect of surface waters on the site conditions; and the extensive monitoring that will be done on the treated groundwaters prior to discharge into the sewerage system were reviewed. The state and federal officials also explained the transfer of regulatory responsibility for operating the interim Stringfellow treatment facility from the Department of Health Services to EPA. I. The Chair also recognized Mr. Bob Griffith, Director of the County of Orange Hazardous Materials Program and a member of the Stringfellow Advisory Committee, representing Orange County. He observed that the Orange County representatives on the Advisory Committee are primarily concerned with the impact of Stringfellow on Orange County' s groundwater. He spoke in support of the interim Stringfellow program to protect the groundwater supply and stated that pretreatment of extracted water and disposal at a POTW is the very likely long-term solution. ply.
